Wigan & Leigh College Parson's Walk, Wigan WN1 1RS

"It's an amazing college for learning. Staff and teachers are friendly"

"to be honest, it’s a great college. Amazing even, got me to uni and helped a lot. However, I would avoid the Media department like the plague; that part could do with new staff. One teacher there, Natasha Hart is a complete weirdo. Started crying when some students decided to leave cause she was more than 15 minutes late to class, only to say she was right next door lol. Could’ve told the students, doesn’t take 5 seconds. I’ve heard another story about how to said a student threw a chair at her but that was a lie. She’s very controlling and cries when students stick up for themselves."

"Wigan and Leigh college is simply a Business first college second establishment who simply need bums on seats to make every class viable and no real effort is made if students are on a course that a future apprenticeship requires them to have an equivalent maths English c grade or above in older gcse grades and although on full time attendance they provide tuition for maths and English the teachers are from an agency and virtually every week there is a different teacher making progress very difficult with them not knowing where the pupil is at properly . Do yourself a favour go to any other college outside of Wigan borough as they are terrible ! Only when I left to another college that I progressed and continued with out problems to complete my apprenticeship which I was struggling to even get to level 1 with Wigan due to the above issues and even the assessors failing to visit me enough times at work to complete my required units towards my apprenticeship. If you complain they have this slimey man who’s job is to protect the college not help you ! All in all a total waste of time ….. believe me if your having problems leave Wigan and go to any nearby one like Bolton Warrington St. Helens and see the difference you will flourish with the support they provide with out the failures of Wigan business first college !"
